Y Spindle for Gate Installation (2 Pack) from KidCo


Advice about how many to get
It's hard to give a piece of metal anything but 5 stars... what would have helped is a little guidance about how they work and how many you need. Let me spell this out for you, 1 Y-spindle is not enough for 1 side, it is literally 1 Y-spindle. I wondered why anyone might want just 1... well this is what you need to know.

The gate has 4 friction points and comes with flat disks that give good friction to walls or anything else that is flat. So ask yourself, is my spindle rectangular on the bottom 2 inches as it enters the floor/stairs? If rectangular on the bottom, but round at the top, then you'll need 1 Y-spindle for each spindle you are placing the gate between. If your spindle is round top-to-bottom, then you'll need to Y-spindles per side.

I hope this helps someone... I also have some advice about the gate, but I'm putting that with the gate reviews.
Easy to Use
I was a little skeptical about how this was going to work, but I have spindles on one side of my staircase and stained wooden molding on the other side, so I didn't want to drill any holes. The other kits were wooden pieces that went around the spindles, and didn't look very good in my opinion. Since my spindles are black iron, I got the black Kidco gate which is pressure mounted. These are very sturdy and the entire system was very easy to install. It also looks good!!! I would definitely recommend these over any other spindle kit.
Uh-Mazing!
Great product... worked great with our Regalo Easy Open 52 Inch Super Wide Gate! It's also very simple to put together!
